The food instoesis cheaner and better today,too.In the old days food was kept in openboxes andtubs.Today it is packed and displayed in cleaner ways.Peope can buymorekinds of food than ever before.80 years ago,most stores a about 100 kindsoffood,but mow most medium-sized food stores sell about 8000 and they sellfreshfoods all year round Many preparedfoodsare almost ready for busy mothers to put on the table.Babies can havemoregood foods and grow better.Today children are taller and heavier.
In somecountries,a farmer still grows only enough food for four or five people.In theUnitedStates a farmer grows enough for more than 50 people.New machines,newfeedsfor animals,better seeds,new ways of farming and shipping all have made itpossiblefor farmers to produce more and better foods and put them in ourstores.
